Henry Ford's Polar Opposite

So you remember the saying that Henry Ford once told people that they could order his Model T in any color as long as it was black? Well, they seem to have the opposite perspective in South Africa - Dan and I have noticed that about 90% of the cars in the parking lot at our office seem to be white. Now, you *could* assume that this is due to the strong African sun and that white reflects all that sunlight - EXCEPT that the interiors of these cars all seem to be BLACK. Go figure.
